AGAINST THE WIND (Bob Seger)
G h C G
It seems like yesterday but it was long ago. Janey was lovely, she was the queen of my nights.
D C G
There in the darkness with the radio playing low. And the secrets that we shared,
h C G
The mountains, that we moved, caught like a wildfire out of control,
C D
Till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove.
e D G e C G
And I remember what she said to me, how she swore, that it never would end.
e D C D
I remember how she held me, oh so tight, wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.
G h C G
Against the wind. We were running against the wind.
C h a7 C G
We were young and strong, we were running against the wind.
G h
And the years rolled slowly past. And I found myself alone.
C G
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends.
D C
I found myself further and further from my home.
G h
And I guess I lost my way. There were oh, so many roads.
C G C D
I was living to run and running to live, never worrying about paying or even how much I owed.
e D G e D G
Runnin' eight miles a minute for months at a time. Breaking all the rules that would bend.
e D G C D
I begin to find myself just searching. Searching for shelter again and again.
G h C G
Against the wind. A little something against the wind.
C h a7 C G
I found myself seeking shelter against the wind.

e D G e D G
Well those drifter's days are past me now. I've got so much more to think about.
e D G C D
Deadlines an commitments. What to leave in. What to leave out.
G h C G
Against the wind. I'm still running against the wind.
C h a7 C G
I'm older now but still running against the wind.
